Mk2 Cortina Aluminium Front Hub Kit – Standard Offset (51mm), Steering Box (CS131)

Aluminium front hub kit for Mk2 Cortinas retaining the original steering-box arrangement and disc-brake front struts. Based on the CS096*H 51 mm standard-offset hubs. Supplied for both front wheels.

Select the correct eight wheel studs from the options above. Choose whether to add bearing grease and whether Retroford should assemble the hubs for you. The optional assembly service includes grease for assembly.

Fitment

• Mk2 Cortina with original steering-box arrangement and disc-brake front struts.
• For solid front brake discs, including the CB001S*COMP M16 solid-disc brake kit.
• Not suitable for vented discs; for steering-box cars using vented discs choose the CS097*H 61 mm offset hubs instead.
• Not for rack-and-pinion converted cars.

Specification

• Aluminium front hubs: CS096*H, one pair.
• Wheel bearings: CS030*H, one pair.
• Stub axle fitting hardware: CS032*H, comprising two nuts, two washers and two retaining cages.
• Alloy hub bearing caps: CS036*H, one pair.
• Wheel studs: eight, selected from the options above.
• Hub depth: 51 mm from brake-disc flange to wheel-mounting face.
• Standard Mk2 Cortina wheel-mounting position for the original 51 mm hub.
• Standard Ford bearing dimensions and standard-type 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) stud mounting holes.

The thicker aluminium mounting flange does not provide adequate brake-disc clearance for the specified vented-disc arrangement.

Choose Your Options

• Wheel studs – required: Select the correct type of eight studs for the wheels and nuts you are using. Longer studs are required because the aluminium wheel mounting flange is thicker than the standard steel hub.
• Bearing grease – optional: Add M090 bearing grease if required.
• Retroford hub assembly – optional: Choose whether Retroford assembles the hub kit. This service includes the bearing grease used during assembly; add separate grease only if you need extra.

Check bearing fit, wheel stud and nut engagement, brake-disc and caliper clearance, and wheel-to-arch clearance before use.
